This is not a problem.

I have a fairly old phone still in use, a Motorola Moto G (2nd gen.).
Its Android version is 6. With this model, will I be able to install
Replicant? Any facts about rooting it or not? I never done such thing.
If not, I will be happy enough to develop and run Replicant apps. They
are developed with a FOSS dev. environment, right?
Thank you (:
